After the Atlanta debacle, and now with cutting Bene, I have finally joined this club...

The leadership they cut from this defense is ridiculous.

I feel for TD and Kuechly. It is like the front office gave up on them and hung them out to dry. Norman, Harper, Tillman, Bene, Dwan and Allen are all gone. CJ seems like he has stepped down from a leadership role too with his treatment/pay cut. Too much pressure put on Kuechly and Davis thanks to the front office.

I hope Bradberry, Worley, Sanchez, Butler, KK, Star, Ealy, Shaq and Boston can become instant leaders. Unfortunately, I do not see that happening.

This looks a lot like the OT and WR debacle started in 2014 that Cam is still having to deal with thanks to the front office.

Lol more like acknowledging that G-man screwed up.

Not just Norman, but dumping all the vets in the secondary too, completely relying on rookies going into the season.

Then we get embarrassed through the air in Atlanta, followed by dumping Bene (rather harsh).

It is a complete mess and quite laughable.

Seriously, it doesn't elicit tears, unless those tears are from flabbergasting laughter.

Let's see, Norman wouldn't sign the fair Franchise Tag contract Gettleman put in front of him. Harper is currently sucking in the Taints atrocious defense. Tillman blew out his knee and is playing nowhere because he announced his retirement back in July 2016. Jared Allen is playing nowhere because he retired as a Viking April 2016. Bene has played in 27 games in his career and was hardly team leadership. Dwan Edwards essentially announced his retirement June 2016.

But please, keep blaming Gettleman!

Comes a time when you have to let young guys play and not rely on signing veterans all the time or handing out ridiculous contracts. The only way young guys grow and get better is by struggling and having growing pains. It's not always easy as a fan but worth it once they start learning and reaching their potential. Not everything has to be sunshine and unicorns all the time. We can't expect to have success all the time. True fans understand wait out the hard times because better times are always ahead. I'm not going to cry like so many on this board seem to be doing. It's a fuging game.

Ok Professor, I'll play.

 

Norman refused to sign, and was known to be willing to sit out.

 

Harper was a good leader, bad player. Oh dear, how can we live without that.

 

Tilman retired. But hey, use him to make a point anyway.

 

Bene', 5th round pick that was having trouble rebounding from an injury. Oh no, we are doomed.

 

Dwan. Good depth, but certainly not worth fretting over.

 

Allen, um, he retired. Not going to help us out much out there fishing.

 

So, out of all that leadership you so proudly threw in our faces. Dwan MAY be the only one we could use. Not a very convincing argument their Prof.

 

I love how you make stuff up, just so you can throw shyte at it. "CJ seems to have stepped down from a leadership role". (Like you have one iota of information to make this claim.) And "I hope the kids can become instant leaders." "I just don't see it." Contradict yourself to make yourself sound smarter. I know it isn't Ethics you specialize in.

 

Dude. I love it.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
